The Critical Importance of Arching

We believe that severe arching can apply pressure to the somatic and autonomic components of the nervous system. If you look at this strain from a cranium to coccyx perspective, it can create general havoc in body physiology. When we did our infant research in Lancaster, Pa., we found that none of the conditions (nursing, colic, reflux, etc.) went away until the arching went away. When the arching went away, everything else quickly dissipated. We very strongly believe that in the future, arching will be recognized as a clear red flag for professionals to work out with CFT/IDM at birth.

About the Gillespie Approach

Dr. Barry Gillespie discovered the Craniosacral Fascial System, which consists of a slight motion of the brain and spinal cord pumping cerebrospinal fluid into the fascial web that connects every structural cell of the body. When physical and/or emotional traumas adversely tighten this freely moving system, tremendous pressure can be exerted on associated nerves, muscles, organs, blood vessels, lymph vessels and bones. Profound effects on body function may result as a major cause of the conditions listed above. Read more.
